What would cause you to lose your salvation?

A Christian who becomes a Satanist has committed apostasy. So those who apostasize are saved? (Respectfully asking.)

The devil cannot inhabit the temple of God 2 Cor. 6:15-16. 2 Cor. 4:4 tells us the Holy Spirit is greater than the devil.

I am the temple of the living God. And His Spirit lives/dwells within me.

So, no way can your scenario be valid. Besides who in their right mind would want to return to the life He saved us from? Not me ... would you, or have you considered it, Robert?

If you are asking "Can a person who is bought by the blood of the lamb fall away, reject the gospel, forsake God and become a hardcore Satanist?" I say no.

If you are asking "Can a 'Christian' … become a hardcore Satanist?" I say absolutely. Statistics tell us that 75% of the population in the US are Christians and I can guarantee that it is just a fraction of those actually belong to the Father.

If you are asking "Can a Christian fall away and still be saved?" I say yes. I have fallen away at times and I know each and every one of us have had times that we have fallen. But GOD is faithful even when we are not.

But that's not the question, for me. The question is: Can a Christian fall away, turn his or her back on God, reject salvation, never repent, and by an act of will finally and totally refuse to come back to God -- and still be saved?

Rebel, you got it. To the others, please do not rephrase or alter the question. Again, Can a Christian fall away, turn his or her back on God, reject salvation, never repent, and by an act of will finally and totally refuse to come back to God -- and still be saved?

Does he believe in Christ as Lord and savior?
